A Moment With Kuma: Kurtz, A Loving Sibling

The year was XX97, at a unknown date and hour, I opened my eyes. Just as things come into view, my twin opened their eyes only to meet my own. We pondered how we came to be, for we awoke in test tube like vates. All while a strange woman, with a blood chilling grin and a lab coat, speaking something in a strange form of...G-German?

  She stared at us, while men took notes and samples from our floating bodies. Strange..., we've veen floating for some time before they freed us from our birthing tubes. Not before long, Ve vere sent out on our 1st mission: wipe out the enemy forces, take over their base, and make sure the Nackri, a nazi like organization hell bent in creating the perfect weapon, survived.

  After a few missions, Ve vere giving code names. Vy younger twin brother, (at the time), was given the code: H.B. or High Body count, for he had the most confirmed body count out of the Nackri, on the battlefield as vell in the bedroom. Vhile I vas given zhe code: G.H.B, Ghastly High Body count, for I had the most confirmed kills of any Nackri Operative.

  Issued a sword und daggers, H.B. was known for his water-like movements, vhile I mastered blade vut decided to practice myne aim, breaking my sword so I'd have more to throw. Ve vere unstoppable, ve thought ve vere immortal...til we ran into our "father". Our father happened to be a Voodoo Death God, disguised as a Witch Doctor, telling us to find und meet him so we could ascend, und reach newer heights. I decided to vait, not knowing vhat zhe strange man was speaking truth, I said another time, vhile H.B. went to him during a mission.

It had been many, many, many moon since our wakening in the birthing tubes. "Dear, sweet" mother, tho she never was anythin of the sort, gave us a mission one day out of the blue. As we suited up and made out what to the transport area, H.B. asked me if I picked out a civi name yet due to this being our last mission before being free from the Nackri. I paused for a moment, before stating: 'Makuma. Kuma Makuma, zhat shall be my name, once we leave this dreaded place for good.' H.b. chuckled a bit, gave me a look, before tapping his chin a bit and stated: 'Then I shall be Kurtz Makuma, we are twins so ve should have zhe same last namez, no?'

  I glanced at Kurtz after noticing his voice was a bit higher in pitch, his movements: more feminine, what happened to my twin? I pondered before Kurtz stopped misstep, und stated: 'Brother, let me go on this mission alone, und you go see our "father", he was quite clear he vants you to come...so that was a order, senior Ku-ma~' Before he cat walked away down to the transport, vhile I set out to find our father.....while...*voice cracks a bit, sounding like they are fighting back tears* Myne twin ... took that accursed mission.

"Nur noch eine, meine Kinder, nur noch eine." She always said, anytime ve asked to be free before  finally stating: "Heute ist der letzte, meine Kinder, geben Sie Ihr Bestes und wir werden danach über Freizeit sprechen." But ... instead of being quiet like normal ... she laughed... *furiously wipes face clean of tears, while trying to calm their breathing while muttering "Keep it together, it's been long enough..you got this." Before taking a deep breath*

This isn't bout me ... its about ... Kurtz ... see, when he took the mission, I had no idea it would ... end the way it did. Me ascending into becoming a Voodoo death God, vhile myne twin got used und treated like a mere play toy. During my awakening, I saw...und vatched unknown men, even those that wore the Nackri sign ... take ... turns ... *suddenly puts his hand thru a wall as he fights back tears*

The look in their eyes, the smirk on their face *The ground starts to shake and crack a bit under Kuma's feet as he holds his head* I can never forget them, nor the look in Kutrz's eyes, but in my blind anger I wiped out existence (Or so I thought, but that's for a different day. - Kuma Makuma 10:10am)  before I hurriedly brought it back, spending eons searching for myne twin.

I remember like it was yesterday: I was out for a walk from my job, Great Health und Body, a hospital I opened after I became a well respected man of medicine und science. Before I ran into a woman and spilled my coffee on us both. 'schulde meine meise' she stated before our eyes met.

Same shade of purple eyes but with a pink/reddish tint, facial marking in the same spot....that....gentle...caring smile that always made the bad days better? *is now crying with his hand still in the wall* 'H-.....H.B.? *hesitantly places hands on her shoulders* K-Kurtz? Is-is it really you? *his eyes roaming her face as tears fill his eyes*

That was when my twin noded her head after her eyes glew her shade of purple, the color that tied us together. But it was also the day I cried, und cried, und cried like a mere babe, screaming out: "Ive  found my twin after all these moons, all this time of searching, I've FOUND YOU" All as I clung to her and cried into her chest, just crying for my soul was crying, it was like Gaia herself was crying with me as it began to rain.

When I was able to pull myself together and stopped being a blubbering mess, Kurtz lead me to her shop: Heavenly Bodys, her own clothing line, and makeup store. We sat and talked for what seemed like minutes but were many moons, sharing tales. But shortly after I had to ask: 'what happend during the mission?'

I didnt want them to go into detail but the words end here, for now.
